“…If non-hydro renewable power generation were used to forestall new hydropower generation capacity, there would be the potential to conserve wild fish populations, biodiversity and forest cover, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions [52]. For instance, a number of studies suggest that significant wind and biofuel generation is feasible in the region, as well as demand management through energy trade and also energy efficiency in the industrial sector [60][61][62]. These interventions would require policies that favor investment in non-hydro renewable power generation.…”

An increasing global population and growing wealth are raising demand for energy and food, impacting on the environment and people living in river basins. Sectoral decision-making may not optimize socio-economic benefits because of perverse impacts in other sectors for people and ecosystems. The hydropower-food supply nexus in the Mekong River basins is assessed here in an influence model. This shows how altering one variable has consequent effects throughout the basin system. Options for strategic interventions to maximize benefits while minimizing negative impacts are identified that would enable national and sub-national policy makers to take more informed decisions across the hydropower, water and food supply sectors. This approach should be further tested to see if it may aid policy making in other large river systems around the world.

This paper examines the causal relationship between carbon dioxide emission (CO2) and Gross Domestics Product (GDP). The nature of causality between CO2 per kilo tan (CO2) and GDP per capita were utilized using a cross country panel data from 1980 to 2010. The test was carried out using panel unit root tests, panel co-integration test, and panel vector error correction estimation and panel Granger causality tests to access the relationship between the respective variables. Our empirical results show the existence of long-run relationship and also suggested that GDP causes CO2 emissions in ASEAN-5. Granger-Causality test result found a one way direction (unidirectional) and no reverse causality. The results also provided indications that a change in CO2 would give favorable impact to the country economic growth. This research would be useful for policy-making by implementing the sustainable energy approach to control the emission and to reduce a green-house effect.

“…The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries' energy consumption increased by nearly 7.5% and economy grew by 5% a year from 1980 to 1999 (Karki et al, 2005). The ASEAN nations and countries such as India and China since the mid-1980s has proved pivot of the global economic growth.…”

“…Also, due ASEAN region's highly liberalized economic policies and rich natural have attracted many foreign investors which made this region one of the fastest growing economies in the world (Yu, 2003). Some of the member countries, i.e., Thailand, Singapore and Malaysian, are greatly involved in information technology and electronics export business, whereas Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei export liquid natural gas and crude oil (Karki et al, 2005). Many countries in Asia-Pacific region have faced serious environmental issues such as land poverty and deforestation in line with conventional growth path.…”

This study mainly contributes to test the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis using panel data for the ASEAN (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines) countries plus China. Empirical focus of the study is to examine the nexus between CO 2 emission, energy consumption and economic growth. While using panel data for 1971-2008 and applying panel co-integration techniques, the emergent findings of the study showed a positive relationship between per capita GDP and per capita CO 2 emission. Further, we found positive effect of energy consumption on CO 2 emission in long run. However, the study findings confirmed EKC inverted U-shape hypothesis for the ASEAN-china region after the inclusion of energy consumption. However, it did not hold once only quadratic relationship of per capita income was regressed with CO 2 emission. Our long-run Panel Ordinary Least Squares (POLS), Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) estimates also confirmed U-shaped EKC hypothesis for this sample of ASEAN4 countries plus China. The findings of the study suggest the countries under consideration should focus on increasing per capita income to sustain long term economic growth and to reduce pollutants and hence, CO 2 emission in the region.
